2° Celsius limit

The 2°C limit refers to the global goal of limiting average temperature increase caused by human activities to no more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This threshold aims to prevent the most severe impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, and biodiversity loss. Staying within this limit involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions through cleaner energy, conservation, and sustainable practices. It represents a collective effort to balance economic growth with environmental responsibility to protect ecosystems, human health, and future generations from the risks of significant climate disruptions.
